Charade

Dedicated to Gurmeet Sandhu Basi, my beloved sister in-law, whose tragic death deeply wounds...

As holy book readings and sacroscant offerings spew forth, my sadden heart rebels at the hypocrisy of those who honor her in death, but did not do so in life...

 

~Charade~

Death's honors bestowed

Orchestrated grief on stage

Hollow souls do prey*

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

*Willful use of the word "prey" herein.

Warmth and Love to you, Carolyn. I know this Charade oh too well, stay in the know.

Isn't it amazing what you can convey in just a few words? The last line is brilliant and conveys your pain and bitterness. Writing helps us to release our feelings, may you find some comfort and peace through releasing yours...

can relate to this heartily, Carolyn. You cut to the chase and to the quick here with your honest observations and heart-felt sorrow. I am so very sorry myself for this double-edged sword: grief compounded by yet more pain. May you find true solace and comfort in your expressed feelings of perhaps isolation and solitude. I am sure your dear sister-in-law feels your love, honour and respect. Bless you, Kate xx

Hi Caroline ...
Nice to hear from ya.
And that bio-picture is great,
what a head of beautiful red hair you have.
Ya, they do prey, (I'm well aquainted with the type) and, no matter what arena, or situation, you're in, they seem to be everywhere these days trying to make themselves look good. Strong statement!
Blessings ...

Few words...yet used so effectively. It's one of the things I admire most about your work.

it hard to find authenticity after death has arrived ... unless only love is applied ...

Carolyn,
Grief takes many forms, and if this is your way of coming to terms with great loss then you have my full and unconditional support.
